I have profited from them hugely in the past (done some high dosage supervised sessions which helped me hugely). Mushrooms are medicines of the spirits, not narcotics. And I would add to that – no fucker has the right to tell me what I can and cannot ingest.

What you are “told” and what has been stated here is not always the same. Learn to discern the difference.

And the stupidest argument I ever heard about trying psychotropic drugs was when I was in high school, and an acid head told me I could not “knock them until I tried them”.

I have not tried arsenic or cyanide either, nor do I intend to try. I trust science (when it is used) to tell me what they work on. And also to differentiate between a physical attribute of man (the mind) and a metaphysical one (the spirit). The former can be affected (altered) by physical stimuli, the latter only by metaphysical. Last I checked, mushrooms are physical.

Jeremy, as I said, I did not fall for the false logic back in high school, nor do I now. As you are welcome to do what you want with your body, I was not telling you what to do with it. Sadly, you cannot extend the same courtesy.

I am merely stating science and using a value judgement to not impair my mental capacity with things that have not been shown to be beneficial. And in the long run, detrimental. As always, you can deny science all you want. There is a large number of people doing exactly that.
